For the Student - What I Think About CHegg

CHegg is a company which champions itself for helping students reach their educational goals.

These are my thoughts and observations about the "how" and how the "how" is kinda dirty. There are a bunch of answers to my graded assignments posted there, and it seems to take an act of God to remove them. I wonder why?

Find yourself in the same situation? Try your luck at the "Honor Code Investigation Request" at

And good luck with that, because the bar is purposely stacked high.

Sorry to say our instructors only give us papers and modules and don't teach, we pay them big tuition then fail us unlike chegg who give us straight forward answers that can have as our reviewer. Yes, not all answers are correct but passing matters atm also school atm is not the real world. Its for preparation we mainly need to pass to have work unless I want to be an instructor to have that kind of thinking to teach students and strictly mandate it to them.

Surely with hundreds of people in these departments there must be a guy named Dean that would be happy to sign them for you

I was never sure if Chegg was legit but this video has convinced me to get it. I'm studying through distance learning and my lecturers not the best so something like chegg would help

[Ozzy]

What's wrong with getting a little help? Sometimes it's hard to understand stuff, so we need people who understand stuff to just explain it simply.

[chunkysenpai]

Totally agreed. You don't gain anything from copying all of the answers instead of doing the work yourself. Chegg is cool for textbooks, but having full assignment solutions is a step too far. "When all you want is the result, you start to look for shortcuts. And if you take that shortcut, you might lose sight of the truth."

[raandeehassoo]

Totally disagreed with you, you guys except students to know everything by just giving them papers to fill out, or posting useless lectures

[erdemkilic]

I only want to use chegg cuz apparently professors dont like to teach us. first 3 weeks we barley learned a thing and he wants to able to solve 4 chapters of math in physics. smh

[nostoon]

When I was in college we didn't have Chegg. Back then I knew that solutions manuals existed, but publishers made it extremely difficult for students to purchase them. I know that in your situation you were taking about a lab manual that you wrote yourself, but a lot of professors simply use for homework and exams questions they get from textbook publishers. In the back of the book they usually have answers to odd numbered questions only, with minimal explanations. I remember that as a student I would use those solutions in the back of the book to check my work to see if I was actually learning. I did not consider that cheating or dishonest. I think it's possible that students today are just using Chegg as a resource to check their work and whether they understand the subject. Education is evolving from in-person to online. I think the old ways of assessing student learning are going to have to change with the time. With AI and the fact that answers are just a few clicks away, it should be more important to assess who knows how to use technology and resources to find answers, and not just who has memorized the answers.

How can one man have all of this talent? Amazing

The best college course I ever took was my Forensics course which my professor had surprise quizzes randomly every week that were from either the book or face to face class this had everyone on there toes.

So just to be clear Chegg is good for books?? This isn’t my only stop but I’m just trying to make sure I do my due diligence that this cite is legit. I’ve never seen textbooks so cheap so it seem too good to be true.

[Nidhogg]

For people like me, who aren’t learning through a class but instead simply by reading a textbook, companies who offer a service that shows the steps in a textbook problem can be quite helpful. While I understand why it’d be frustrating for unique problems that you came up with, in terms of the standard textbook problems, I hope people keep in mind that there are people who use it outside of the classroom and not to cheat on homework. I also think that you should consider the other side of it as well. As long as your students are using this technology the right way, it will likely improve their rate of learning instead of hurting it. At the end of the day, if students want to cheat and are willing to dedicate time to that task they will do so. There’s only so much a teacher can do to account for that. Unfortunately, that’s as true in the past as it is now.

[MorbidlyObeseChell]

I mostly hate it when one person posts all the questions to chegg, and so the proffessor turns the test from an open notes group exam with 1 week to complete into a proctored exam with no notes and 1 hour to complete. We are desperate and chegg knows, all chegg is doing is punishing the honest students while rewarding the dishonest students.

[Lamb]

I know plenty of people who use and abuse Chegg, teachers and university’s advocating to work remotely and stay online are advocating for students to cheat and use sources like chegg. Remote learning can be terrible, lectures can be useless, textbooks are hard to just sit there and read/learn it all, especially at home 24/7, not good for your mental health and causes stress which likely turns you toward chegg to find answers for homework/exams. Wouldn’t have this problem if institutions in north america would let students go back to being students on campus.

[Tootless_Dragon]

tbh, came here just to check if it was a scam. Still don't wanna buy, but as a college student and having extra credit tests and homework's on fucking Chegg. Makes me truly question if the money is worth it for my money.

[JosefinaZCScott]

I would appreciate sharing this information.

[ryanemery]

Just trying to help out with the csv files, its comma separated values, Excel is amazing for them. Thanks for the video

[ivanrothstein]

Agree that Chegg is terrible, but c'mon. You create a csv file easily. Put the url's into a spreadsheet, then save it as a csv file.

[ErikKoehne]

I am renting an education book from Chegg. It reads text to voice at random parts of the textbook with no way make it read what you want it to read. I've been on the phone with the wild west customer service overseas who know NOTHING!!!
